Two women were treated and released at Memorial Medical Center Tuesday following a two-vehicle accident north of New Berlin on Old Jacksonville Road.

Jami Winchester, 42, of Chatham was heading north on Pleasant Plains Road about 4:40 p.m. and initially stopped at the stop sign. For some reason, she then pulled out in front of an eastbound minivan driven by Angela Westwood, 28, of the 2900 block of Selkirk Road, according to the Sangamon County Sheriff’s Office.

The minivan ended up in a ditch where it rolled over at least once.

Winchester was cited for failure to yield the right of way, the sheriff’s office said.
